Why Choose the Tuttnauer 2540M?

The Tuttnauer 2540M is an attractive choice for facilities that want the simplicity of a manual tabletop autoclave but need greater instrument capacity.

Its 23-liter chamber provides more capacity than the smaller 2340M Tuttnauer Autoclave, while four trays allow facilities to organize larger instrument loads.

Consider the Tuttnauer 2540M if your facility:

• Processes larger instrument loads
• Needs more capacity than the Tuttnauer 1730 or 2340M
• Wants a manual rather than automatic sterilizer
• Needs a deeper tabletop sterilization chamber
• Uses full- or half-size instrument cassettes
• Values straightforward controls and operation

Tuttnauer 1730 vs. 2340M vs. 2540M

Tuttnauer offers several manual tabletop autoclaves. Choosing among the 1730, 2340M and 2540M largely depends on your facility's instrument volume, instrument size and required chamber capacity.

Choose the Tuttnauer 1730 if:

Your facility has lighter instrument-processing requirements and compact size is a priority.

Choose the Tuttnauer 2340M if:

You need significantly more capacity than the 1730 but don't require the larger chamber and fourth tray offered by the 2540M.

Choose the Tuttnauer 2540M if:

You regularly process larger instrument loads and can benefit from a 23-liter chamber, four trays and increased cassette capacity.

Tuttnauer 2340M vs. 2540M

The Tuttnauer 2340M and 2540M are both manual tabletop steam sterilizers, but the 2540M provides additional chamber and tray capacity.

The 2340M features a 19-liter chamber with three trays and capacity for two full-size and two half-size optional cassettes.

The 2540M increases capacity to 23 liters with four trays and capacity for three full-size and three half-size optional cassettes.

For facilities processing moderate instrument loads, the 2340M may provide sufficient capacity in a slightly smaller chamber. For practices that regularly process larger loads, the additional space and fourth tray of the 2540M can make it the better choice.

Tuttnauer 2540M Cycle Time

Tuttnauer specifies an approximate 14-minute standard unwrapped cycle from a hot start and approximately 30 minutes from a cold start.

Cycle times are approximate and may vary depending on instrument load and operating conditions.

Always follow Tuttnauer's operating instructions and applicable instrument sterilization protocols when selecting and running sterilization cycles.

Water Requirements for the Tuttnauer 2540M

Tuttnauer specifies distilled water for the reservoir of its manual tabletop autoclaves.

Proper water quality helps reduce mineral accumulation within the sterilizer and is an important part of routine autoclave operation and maintenance.

Facilities that regularly operate a Tuttnauer autoclave may also consider an on-site water distiller for producing distilled water for compatible applications.
